4 comps
S5s Triple-Healer Control
The definitive S2 immortality comp — three healers behind an Arms warrior and Affliction warlock who never stop applying pressure. You don't out-burst anyone; you refuse to die and grind the enemy team into an empty mana bar. Every game is a war of attrition you were built to win.
A5s Melee Cleave
The default competitive 5s archetype: stacked melee burst (warrior + rogue) behind two or three healers. 5s in TBC is less rigid than 2s/3s — think in team archetypes, and melee cleave is the highest-floor one.
BDouble-Healer Warrior (Warrior / Shaman / Paladin)
The purest attrition comp in the bracket: one Arms Warrior grinding a target while a Restoration Shaman and Holy Paladin refuse to let anyone die. You don't out-burst opponents — you out-last them, riding Mortal Strike pressure and two full mana bars until the enemy healer runs dry or panics. Tier B because a single peeled Warrior is a comp with no offense at all.
BRetcleave (Warrior / Ret / Shaman)
Retcleave is TSG's controlling cousin: an Arms Warrior and a Ret Paladin train a target while a Resto Shaman sustains, but the paladin trades a second warrior for Repentance, Hammer of Justice, and Freedom. Less raw instant damage than double-warrior, far more healer lockdown and burst on demand. A high-floor cleave that actually sets up its kills.
